Recep Tayyip Erdogan exacerbates the political climate, speaking of “politically dead” opponents the day after the May 14 election, and playing the “political card” of converting Saint Sofia’s in a mosque to the Islamists.

“We performed the Bayram prayer at the Hagia Sophia mosque. As you remember three years ago, again on Friday, after many years of sorrow we opened Hagia Sophia for prayer. Since that day Hagia Sophia is always full and always “alive”” said Erdogan at the Blue Mosque, according to Manolis Kostidis.

“The opposition promises to abolish the Department of Religious Affairs… They say they will create another department of faith, etc… No, no, yawning is not enough… Until May 14th we will work and make them “politically dead” said the Turkish president in response to the disapproval of his followers.

“Look now we are taking care of the minarets of Hagia Sophia. We restore them, we build them. Because it wasn’t enough to scrape and remove that negative stamp, (he means Kemal’s), after 86 years we arranged this, we opened it, but now we will continue the repairs” he added, leaving spikes for the founder of modern Turkey.

As the SKAI correspondent broadcasts from Istanbul, the turkish president did not choose a classic mosque to pray today, but the Hagia Sophia, showing that he considers it one of his greatest achievements.
